Jacob&apos;s room. E-book. Formato Mobipocket. Jacob&#39;s Room is Virginia Woolf&#39;s first truly experimental novel. It is a portrait of a young man, who is both representative and victim of the social values which led Edwardian society into war. Jacob&#39;s life is traced from the time he is a small boy playing on the beach, through his years in Cambridge, then in artistic London, and finally making a trip to Greece, but this is no orthodox Bildungsroman. Jacob is presented in glimpses, in fragments, as Woolf breaks down traditional ways of representing character and experience. The novel&#39;s composition coincided with the consolidation of Woolf&#39;s interest in feminism, and she criticizes the privileged thoughtless smugness of patriarchy, `the other side&#39;, `the men in clubs and Cabinets&#39;. Her stylistic innovations are conscious attempts to realize and develop women&#39;s writing and the novel dramatizes her interest in the ways both language and social environments shape differently the lives of men and women.<br />Unabridged edition with an interactive table of contents.
